Although the name is Mars Red, there is nothing related to Mars in it. Instead, it takes place in 1923, in a fantasy world terrorized by bloodthirsty vampires.
Like almost any other anime of this genre, the Japanese government creates a special unit to deal with this crisis. Now, what’s so special about this unit?
The unit “Code Zero” comprises of vampires only. With this genius plan, the government can use vampires to track down hostile vampires. The anime is all set to premiere in April 2021, and I am sure supernatural lovers are looking forward to it.
On January 9, the official website of Mars Red anime revealed the third key visual for the anime.
The key visual features the Code Zero unit’s main members, including Suwa, Yamagami, Takeuchi, Kurusu, and Maeda. They are tasked with tracking down and killing other hostile vampires.
Just a few days back, the official website revealed that anime’s opening theme song titled “Seimei no Aria” will be performed by Wagakki Band.
The band is known for combining rock with traditional Japanese instruments and features a vocalist who recites Japanese poetry.
This isn’t their first work in the anime industry. They previously performed the opening and ending theme songs for the Sengoku Musou (Samurai Warriors) television anime.
The animation style typically resembles the early 19th century, and the main cast details have already been released.

The demand for vampire-based anime has risen considerably since Netflix came up with Castlevania. Based on the manga’s success, we can expect that the storyline is good enough to make the anime adaptation a huge success.
